TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a transaction system and method for a digital virtual currency having a block chain between concerned parties which enable a receiver to do a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain regardless of whether an electronic wallet has been created, and guide the concerned parties to conveniently do a uniform resource locator (URL)-based transaction without recognizing a public address composed of 32 bytes or more for each transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain between the concerned parties.

BACKGROUND ART

Referring to an apparatus and method of purchasing commodities in an online game as a deputy using virtual currency for a manager in the internet café which was made public (Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0028519) by the Korean Intellectual Property Office, a virtual currency in common use can be generally used to only purchase an item, etc. in Internet-based online games, and therefore, there is a problem with use of the virtual currency.

Here, Bitcoin which is a kind of virtual currency available for payment for goods is suggested as has lately been spotlighted.

Bitcoin is a digital currency invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, and there is no central apparatus that issues and manages the currency. However, a Bitcoin transaction is realized by a distributed database (DB) based on a peer-to-peer (P2P) network and is performed according to public key cryptography.

Bitcoin involving such a payment method can be used without information, such as a credit card number, a valid date, a credit card verification (CCV) number, etc. required for credit card payment, and thus has merits in that there is a very low probability of theft and a usage fee is also low.

In addition, Bitcoin is stored in the form of a wallet file. A unique address thereof, that is, a public address, and a private key corresponding to a password are assigned to this wallet, and a product purchase with Bitcoin is made on the basis of the address referred to as public address.

Digital virtual currencies available for payment for goods include Litecoin, Darkcoin, Namecoin, Dogecoin, Ripple, etc. together with Bitcoin. Since these digital virtual currencies have in common characteristic in that a block chain in which information on a transaction done by a purchaser with a digital virtual currency including Bitcoin is collected and stored is stored in an electronic wallet, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Darkcoin, Namecoin, Dogecoin, and Ripple are collectively referred to as digital virtual currencies having a block chain.

To use a digital virtual currency having such a block chain having a payment characteristic, a user subscribes to a Bitcoin exchange (e.g., www.coinplug) first, creates an electronic wallet, and charges Korean Won (KRW) corresponding to the amount of Korean currency.

Subsequently, the user checks a current price of Bitcoin traded in the Bitcoin exchange and then makes a purchase order by inputting the amount and the current price of a desired digital virtual currency having a block chain. Then, the deal is closed through a purchase order which satisfies trade conditions, so that the user can make payment with the digital virtual currency having a block chain to purchase a product.

However, due to such a transaction characteristic of a digital virtual currency having a block chain, it is not possible to a provide consumer-to-consumer (C2C) transaction that is a basic function of a general currency commonly used in each country including Republic of Korea.

In other words, if both concerned parties want to do a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain, an existing transaction system based on a digital virtual currency having a block chain enables the transaction only when both a person who gives the digital virtual currency having a block chain (referred to as a giver below) and a person who receives the digital virtual currency having a block chain (referred to as a receiver below) create electronic wallets required to do a transaction of the digital virtual currency having a block chain.

Moreover, in the existing transaction system based on a digital virtual currency having a block chain, even when both the concerned parties have electronic wallets, a giver should first input and provide a public address used as an identification means for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain together with input and provision of a public address of the receiver for the transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain between both concerned parties.

Here, the public addresses are about 32 to about 35 byte data composed of numerals and English alphabet lower and upper case letters, such as “1BBe23rvzYBwaAqckvj4TTTJAs3W78dUpx.”

For this reason, there are numerous cases in which a giver cannot recognize a public address of a receiver in practice.

Therefore, for a product transaction with a digital virtual currency having a block chain, payment is made using a quick response (QR) code for Bitcoin payment obtained by converting a public address into a QR code. However, when the QR code for Bitcoin payment is applied to a transaction between both concerned parties, it is inconvenient to previously receive separate QR codes for Bitcoin payment of all other parties who will receive a digital virtual currency having a block chain, and it is also necessary to do the transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain while capturing the transaction. Consequently, the process is complicated, and there is also a risk of illegal use when a giver leaks previously provided QR codes for Bitcoin payment of receivers to the outside.

DISCLOSURE Technical Problem

MODES OF THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, configurations and operations of embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in drawings, a transaction system for a digital virtual currency having a block chain between concerned parties according to the present invention includes a block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100, a giver terminal 200, a receiver terminal 300, and a plurality of block chain retention servers 400.

First, when transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain is received, the plurality of block chain retention servers 400 authenticate a block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction by verifying the received transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain, and a block chain in which the transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain is recorded according to the authentication is retained in the block chain retention servers 400. The plurality of block chain retention servers 400 are a peer-to-peer (P2P) network-based distributed database (DB), that is, devices constituting a Bitcoin network, which performs a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain through authentication and recording of the transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain.

As a component, the block chain retention servers 400 include a block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100, which will be described below, administered by a Bitcoin exchange.

Also, propagation of transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having the block chain is promised in a protocol. When transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain is generated, one node (indicating a block chain retention server) propagates the transaction information to designated eight next nodes, and each of the eight nodes receiving the transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain further propagates the transaction information to designated eight next nodes. Through this pyramidal propagation, the transaction information is propagated to all block chain retention servers 400 in which a block chain required to perform the transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain is retained, so that the propagation is completed.

Meanwhile, a block chain is retained in the block chain retention servers 400. The block chain retention servers 400 may include a server (or terminal) managed by a miner who mines a digital virtual currency having a block chain, or include a user terminal (e.g., a personal computer (PC) or a smart phone) for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain when an electronic wallet having a block chain is retained in the user terminal.

Digital virtual currencies having such a transaction characteristic with a block chain include Bitcoin, Litecoin, Darkcoin, Namecoin, Dogecoin, Ripple, and so on.

When a transaction request signal for a giver including the amount information of a digital virtual currency having a block chain to be given and personal information of a giver is received, the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 generates and transmits a receiver transaction selecting URL A for guiding a receiver to do a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain regardless of whether an electronic wallet has been created as required when the receiver makes a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain, transmits a receiver transaction guide screen 600 provided through a click of the receiver transaction selecting URL A to guide the receiver to do the transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain differently according to whether the receiver has created an electronic wallet, generates customized transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction according to whether the receiver has created an electronic wallet, and controls the transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction to be propagated to the block chain retention servers 400.

In this way, the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 does not only guide the receiver to do a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain regardless of whether an electronic wallet has been created as required for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain but also guides the giver and the receiver to conveniently do the transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain between concerned parties, which are the giver and the receiver, through the aforementioned receiver transaction selecting URL A without recognizing a public address composed of 32 bytes.

To this end, the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 includes a DB unit 110 having a membership list information DB 111 storing personal information of members including the members' identities (IDs), passwords, phone numbers of mobile communication terminals, etc., and addresses separately according to the members as information registered for a block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction when users become the members, an electronic wallet list information DB 112 storing electronic wallets including public addresses of a digital virtual currency having a block chain created by the users who have become the members, private keys, and block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information separately according to the members, and a format list information DB 113 storing various kinds of format information including the receiver transaction guide screen 600 that does not only guides the receiver to do a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain regardless of whether an electronic wallet required for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain has been created but also is required to guide the giver and the receiver to conveniently do the transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain between the concerned parties, which are the giver and the receiver, through the aforementioned receiver transaction selecting URL A without recognizing a public address composed of 32 bytes.

Here, the receiver transaction guide screen 600 stored in the format list information DB 113 has an electronic wallet creation-specific payment selection list unit 610 for requesting payment of a digital virtual currency having a block chain differently according to whether an electronic wallet has been created.

The electronic wallet creation-specific payment selection list unit 610 is implemented so that a receiver can do a transaction by selecting a type of guiding a receiver to do a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain without creating an electronic wallet, a type in which a receiver creates an electronic wallet in the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 and the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 manages the created electronic wallet, a type in which a receiver creates an electronic wallet in another block chain-based digital virtual currency exchange server (not shown) and the other block chain-based digital virtual currency exchange server manages the electronic wallet.

First, an electronic wallet creation request item 611 displayed in the electronic wallet creation-specific payment selection list unit 610 of a receiver transaction guide screen 600 can be selected for the type of guiding the receiver to do a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain without creating an electronic wallet.

In other words, the electronic wallet creation request item 611 is used by a receiver who has not created an electronic wallet to request creation of an electronic wallet, and has a receiver personal information input window unit for creating an electronic wallet in which receiver-related information required to create an electronic wallet is input and displayed, as a window additionally displayed when the receiver selects the electronic wallet creation request item 611. In the receiver personal information input window unit for creating an electronic wallet, a name input window 611a in which a receiver's name is input and displayed, an e-mail account input window 611b in which a receiver's e-mail account is input and displayed, a password input window 611c in which a password is input and displayed, a contact number input window 611d in which a receiver's mobile communication phone number is input and displayed, and a complete menu 611e are displayed.

Through these windows, the receiver terminal 300 collects and processes receiver name information, receiver e-mail account information, password information, and receiver's mobile communication phone number input in the receiver personal information input window unit for creating an electronic wallet into electronic wallet-creating receiver information and transmits the processed electronic wallet-creating receiver information to a virtual currency transaction guide server 100.

The virtual currency transaction guide server 100 creates an electronic wallet of the receiver on the basis of the received electronic wallet-creating receiver information, stores the electronic wallet in the electronic wallet list information DB 112, subtracts an amount to be given to the receiver from block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information stored in electronic wallet information of a giver in the electronic wallet list information DB 112 on the basis of a transaction request signal for a giver, adds the subtracted amount to block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information stored in electronic wallet information of the receiver, generates transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction on the basis of the subtraction and addition, and then controls the transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction to be propagated to the block chain retention servers 400.

Also, a member login request item 612 displayed in the electronic wallet creation-specific payment selection list unit 610 of the receiver transaction guide screen 600 can be selected for the type in which a receiver creates an electronic wallet in the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 and the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 manages the created electronic wallet.

In other words, the member login request item 612 is used by a receiver who is managed as a member in the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 to request login to the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100. The member login request item 612 has a receiver login input window unit in which receiver login information required by a member for login is input and displayed, as a window additionally displayed when the receiver selects the member login request item 612.

In this receiver login input window unit, a login e-mail account input window 612a in which a receiver's e-mail account is input and displayed, a login password input window 612b in which a password is input and displayed, and a login request menu 612c are displayed.

Through these windows, the receiver terminal 300 collects and processes e-mail account information for receiver login input in the receiver login input window unit and login password information into member login information for a receiver and transmits the processed member login information for a receiver to the virtual currency transaction guide server 100.

The virtual currency transaction guide server 100 confirms that the receiver is a member by matching the received member login information for a receiver with the membership list information DB 111, subtracts an amount to be given to the receiver from block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information stored in electronic wallet information of the giver in the electronic wallet list information DB 112 on the basis of a transaction request signal for a giver, adds the subtracted amount to block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information stored in electronic wallet information of the receiver, generates transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction on the basis of the subtraction and addition, and then controls the transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction to be propagated to the block chain retention servers 400.

Finally, a non-member electronic wallet information input request item 613 displayed in the electronic wallet creation-specific payment selection list unit 610 of the receiver transaction guide screen 600 can be selected for the type in which a receiver creates an electronic wallet in another block chain-based digital virtual currency exchange server and the other block chain-based digital virtual currency exchange server manages the electronic wallet.

In other words, the non-member electronic wallet information input request item 613 is used for requesting a receiver having an electronic wallet to manually input his or her public address. As those additionally displayed when a receiver selects the non-member electronic wallet information input request item 613, the non-member electronic wallet information input request item 613 has a receiver public address input window 613a in which a public address included in an electronic wallet of the receiver is input and displayed and a send menu 613b. Since a receiver manually inputs his or her public address as described above, a giver can do a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain with a receiver without recognizing a public address of the receiver.

The receiver terminal 300 transmits receiver public address information for a non-member input in the receiver public address input window 613a to the virtual currency transaction guide server 100.

The virtual currency transaction guide server 100 extracts electronic wallet information of the giver from the electronic wallet list information DB 112 on the basis of a transaction request signal for a giver, subtracts an amount to be given to the receiver from block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information stored in the extracted electronic wallet information of the giver, stores the electronic wallet information of the giver, generates transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction on the basis of the electronic wallet information of the giver stored after the subtraction and the received receiver public address information for a non-member, and controls the transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction to be propagated to the block chain retention servers 400.

The giver terminal 200 generates the transaction request signal for a giver including amount information of a digital virtual currency having a block chain to be given and personal information of the giver and transmits the transaction request signal for a giver to the digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100, and a giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 which guides the giver to designate a receiver who will receive the receiver transaction selecting URL A transmitted from the digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 and transmit the receiver transaction selecting URL A to the designated receiver is installed in the giver terminal 200.

Here, the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 is an application program. It is possible to access an app store through the giver terminal 200 and download and use the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app, or directly access the aforementioned block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 and download and use the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app.

Also, the giver terminal 200 includes an information input unit, such as a keypad, that generates a user input signal for controlling or operating the giver terminal 200 according to a user's manipulation to run the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210, an information storage unit that stores data, such as personal information of a giver which will be described below or the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 which is a dedicate program, an information output unit 201 that outputs multimedia information, such as a block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction screen 510 which will be described below, and a control unit that performs overall control of the giver terminal 200. To clearly set bounds to the present invention, a reference sign is assigned to the information output unit 201 only, and this is the same for the receiver terminal 300 which will be described below.

The giver terminal 200 that performs such functions can be various terminals including a communication terminal device, such as a palmtop, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and an Internet-accessible smart phone, a portable multimedia player (PMP), an ultra-mobile PC, a mobile Internet device (MID), etc., and this is the same for the receiver terminal 300 which will be described below.

The receiver terminal 300 clicks the receiver transaction selecting URL A received from the giver terminal 200 and thereby requests payment of digital virtual currency having a block chain differently according to whether an electronic wallet has been created through the receiver transaction guide screen 600 received from the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100.

Also, the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 of the giver terminal 200 is programmed to add selection information of a URL transmission means, which is selected by the giver as a means of transmitting the receiver transaction selecting URL A from among an instant messenger, a short message service (SMS), and e-mail, to the transaction request signal for a giver, to transmit the transaction request signal for a giver, to control the means selected by the giver from among the instant messenger, the SMS, and the e-mail to be automatically executed when the receiver transaction selecting URL A is received from the digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100, and to output the receiver transaction selecting URL A on the automatically executed means, so that the giver can transmit the receiver transaction selecting URL A to the receiver using the selected means.

To this end, the giver terminal 200 stores the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction screen 510 including an amount display column 511 in which the amount of a digital virtual currency having a block chain to be given is displayed, a transmission means selection column 512 in which the instant messenger, the SMS, and the e-mail are displayed and one of the displayed instant messenger, SMS, and e-mail is selected by the giver as a means of transmitting the receiver transaction selecting URL A, a text input column 513 in which a message to be transferred to the receiver is input and displayed, and a transmission menu 514 for requesting data transmission.

The giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 of the giver terminal 200 is programmed to collect amount information of a digital virtual currency having a block chain displayed through the amount display column 511, selection information of a URL transmission means selected through the transmission means selection column 512, and the personal information of the giver and to generate the transaction request signal for a giver when the transmission menu 514 in the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction screen 510 is clicked.

A process of guiding concerned parties to do a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain between the concerned parties using the transaction system having the above-described configuration for a digital virtual currency having a block chain between concerned parties according to the present invention regardless of whether an electronic wallet required for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain has been created will be described below.

First, when a giver executes the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 installed in the giver terminal 200 (S110), the executed giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 outputs and displays a block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction screen 510 through the information output unit 201 of the giver terminal 200 (S120).

Subsequently, when the giver inputs information to the amount display column 511, the transmission means selection column 512, and the text input column 513 displayed in the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction screen 510 through the information output unit according to input formats and clicks the transmission menu 514, the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 collects amount information of a digital virtual currency input through the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction screen 510, selection information of a URL transmission means selected by the giver as a means of transmitting the receiver transaction selecting URL A from among an instant messenger, an SMS, and e-mail, and personal information of the giver, generates a transaction request signal for a giver, and transmits the transaction request signal for a giver to the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 (S130). Here, it is assumed that an instant messenger has been selected for the URL transmission means selection information.

Subsequently, when the transaction request signal for a giver is received from the giver terminal 200, the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 generates the receiver transaction selecting URL A for guiding a receiver who receives the digital virtual currency having a block chain to do a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain regardless of whether the receiver has created an electronic wallet and transmits the receiver transaction selecting URL A to the giver terminal 200 (S140).

When the receiver transaction selecting URL A is received from the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100, the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 of the giver terminal 200 controls an instant messenger which is a transmission means corresponding to the URL transmission means selection information among transmission means including an instant messenger, an SMS, and e-mail to be automatically executed and controls the receiver transaction selecting URL A to be output in the automatically executed instant messenger (see FIG. 3B) (S150).

Here, if the giver has selected e-mail as the URL transmission means selection information, the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 of the giver terminal 200 outputs and displays the received receiver transaction selecting URL A in a text input window while automatically executing e-mail. Therefore, even when the giver does not know a public address of an electronic wallet of the receiver, the giver simply inputs an e-mail address of the receiver, and the receiver receives the receiver transaction selecting URL A (see FIG. 4), so that a transaction can be made.

Also, if the giver has selected an SMS as the URL transmission means selection information, the giver-side block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction app 210 of the giver terminal 200 outputs and displays the received receiver transaction selecting URL A in the text input window while automatically executing the SMS. Therefore, even when the giver does not know the public address of the electronic wallet of the receiver, the giver simply inputs a mobile communication phone number of the receiver, and the receiver receives the receiver transaction selecting URL A (see FIG. 5), so that a transaction can be made.

Subsequently, when the giver designates a receiver account of the instant messenger that requests transfer of the receiver transaction selecting URL A through a giver designation guide screen (see FIG. 3C) for a giver-side instant messenger, the instant messenger, which is the automatically executed transmission means, installed in the giver terminal 200 transmits the receiver transaction selecting URL A to the receiver terminal 300 corresponding to the receiver account (S160).

Subsequently, the instant messenger which is the same transmission means of the giver terminal 200 is executed in the receiver terminal 300, and the executed instant messenger controls a URL display guide screen (see FIG. 3D) for a receiver-side instant messenger in which the received receiver transaction selecting URL A is inserted and displayed to be output through an information output unit 301 (S170).

Subsequently, when the receiver clicks the receiver transaction selecting URL A output and displayed in the instant messenger of the receiver terminal 300, the receiver terminal 300 requests transmission of the receiver transaction guide screen 600 corresponding to the receiver transaction selecting URL A from the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 and controls the receiver transaction guide screen 600 received from the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 to be output through the information output unit 301 (S180).

The receiver transaction guide screen 600 output in the receiver terminal 300 has the electronic wallet creation-specific payment selection list unit 610 for requesting payment of a digital virtual currency having a block chain differently according to whether an electronic wallet has been created. In the electronic wallet creation-specific payment selection list unit 610, the electronic wallet creation request item 611 used by a receiver who has not created an electronic wallet to request creation of an electronic wallet, the member login request item 612 used by a receiver who is managed as a member in the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100 to request login to the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction guide server 100, and the non-member electronic wallet information input request item 613 for requesting manual input of a public address of a receiver having an electronic wallet are displayed, and the receiver selects an item suitable for himself or herself (S190).

First, when the receiver clicks and selects the electronic wallet creation request item 611 among the electronic wallet creation request item 611, the member login request item 612, and the non-member electronic wallet information input request item 613, the receiver terminal 300 generates electronic wallet-creating receiver information including receiver name information, receiver e-mail account information, password information, and receiver mobile communication phone number information input through the electronic wallet creation request item 611 and transmits the electronic wallet-creating receiver information to the virtual currency transaction guide server 100 (S200).

Subsequently, the virtual currency transaction guide server 100 creates an electronic wallet of the receiver on the basis of the received electronic wallet-creating receiver information, stores the electronic wallet in the electronic wallet list information DB 112, subtracts an amount to be given to the receiver from block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information stored in electronic wallet information of the giver in the electronic wallet list information DB 112 on the basis of the transaction request signal of a giver, adds the subtracted amount to block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information stored in electronic wallet information of the receiver, generates transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction on the basis of the subtraction and addition, and transmits the transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction to designated block chain retention servers 400 (S210).

Subsequently, when the transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain is received, each of the designated block chain retention servers 400 authenticates the block chain-based digital virtual currency transaction by verifying the received transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain and records the transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain according to the authentication (S220), thereby completing the authentication of the transaction.

Also, when the receiver selects the member login request item 612 among the electronic wallet creation request item 611, the member login request item 612, and the non-member electronic wallet information input request item 613, the receiver terminal 300 generates member login information for a receiver including e-mail account information for receiver login and password information for login input through the member login request item 612 and transmits the member login information for a receiver to the virtual currency transaction guide server 100 (S230).

The virtual currency transaction guide server 100 confirms that the receiver is a member by matching the received member login information for a receiver with the membership list information DB 111, subtracts the amount to be given to the receiver from the block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information stored in the electronic wallet information of the giver in the electronic wallet list information DB 112 on the basis of the transaction request signal for a giver, adds the subtracted amount to the block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information stored in the electronic wallet information of the receiver, generates transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction on the basis of the subtraction and addition, and transmits the transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction to designated block chain retention servers 400 (S240), so that the designated block chain retention servers 400 can authenticate the transaction by recording the transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain (S220).

Finally, when the receiver selects the non-member electronic wallet information input request item 613 among the electronic wallet creation request item 611, the member login request item 612, and the non-member electronic wallet information input request item 613, the receiver terminal 300 generates receiver public address information for a non-member indicating a public address which has been input through the non-member electronic wallet information input request item 613 and is included in the electronic wallet of the receiver and transmits the receiver public address information for a non-member to the virtual currency transaction guide server 100 (S250).

Subsequently, the virtual currency transaction guide server 100 extracts the electronic wallet information of the giver from the electronic wallet list information DB 112 on the basis of the transaction request signal for a giver, subtracts the amount to be given to the receiver from the block chain-based digital virtual currency amount information stored in the extracted electronic wallet information of the giver, stores the electronic wallet information of the giver, generates transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction on the basis of the electronic wallet information of the giver stored after the subtraction and the received receiver public address information for a non-member, and transmits the transaction information for a digital virtual currency transaction to designated block chain retention servers 400 (S260), so that the designated block chain retention servers 400 can authenticate the transaction by recording the transaction information for a transaction of a digital virtual currency having a block chain (S220).
